Is it normal to want all humans deported off the planet?

I can stay. I'm not a bastard who pleases myself to other creatures torture.

So we're gone. OK, I can live with that. Do you think that it would be any different if another mammal evolved and took the top slot in our absence? We share so much genetic information with them and they would be subject to the same environmental influences we were. In fact, ignoring superficial detail, I wouldn't be surprised if homo sapiens were a pretty average product of natural selection the universe over.

This doesn't mean I don't like your idea.

I vote no, not normal

"everything is guided by self-gain only"

That applies to ALL species on the earth. Even ants are motivated by self-gain in a way.

as for people being useless... I always find it odd when people decide to hate themselves. it's like it's the new in thing... hate yourself, hate your own species.

it's like ... people out there want to try convincing others that even wanting to live is bad. which strikes me as crazy

Okay, this is asinine. First, just to get it out of the way, if you're going to throw on the whole "look how smart I am I know big words I'm so grandiose and pretentious" learn the difference between "parody" and "parity." Too bad natural selection doesn't select for grammar. On to your actual question, yes, it's normal, to an extent. As for your argument, it's completely flawed. You seem to conveniently forget that humans are a result of the system; we are simply a reaction to our environment. And we're all toolmakers? Yeahno. The human brain, if you want to simplify the fuck out of it, as you seem wont to do, is merely a pattern-recognition device. It recognizes patterns and utilizes problem solving to manipulate the pattern to benefit itself. Therefore, we *are* rather adept toolmakers. In fact, in a system -- i.e. life on Earth -- that passively selects for individuals with the highest self-benefit rates, we are the best. Nobody is better at manipulating patterns than we are. To suggest that we are anything more than what millions of years has constantly bred us to succeed at is, by its very nature, a superior concept, as it suggests that we are more than the sum of our parts. You seem to assume this is true: that we're on a higher level (and therefore need to be held responsible for our actions) whilst simultaneously maintaining that we're on the same level as all other life. Lastly, the Japanese knotweed, which was introduced from Asia to Europe in the mid-19th century as an ornamental and fodder plant, grows rapidly, prevents native seeds from germinating, thrives on being uprooted, and can even regrow after being rooted out and washed downstream. It inhibits the success of other species, is responsible for numerous extinctions, and is one of the most invasive species on the planet. Should it be magically teleported from Earth? I suggest "you'd better be prepared to apply a standard and a concept with consistency and logic, and stop cherrypicking exceptions that benefit you personally in some way." But you are only human, after all.

Why do you think animals are more important than us? What IS importance?

Should something with only a dim awareness of it's own reality take precedent over something capable of great art and thought? (aka mankind).

Not everyone, just keep the people who contribute to society

SHUT UP. You are emo. Congratulations.
I hate the human race and my black eye liner proves this. SHUT UP.

you probadly just dont fit in.

Ah, I remember discovering my first thesaurus... you should call yourself the ERSATZ THEORETICIAN.

Well I want to continue to exist regardless of the impact my life has on the environment.

If I was dead, I wouldn't get to enjoy the knowledge that my death meant some trees and animals and other stuff wouldn't be dead instead. Somehow, I think if it came down to it, you wouldn't be able to commit genocide and suicide because you'd never get to see the results, and you have an ego just like the rest of us.

Even if you could muster the courage to end it all, fuck you, the moment you work out how to teleport people I'll have worked out how to block your powers and melt you... bitch.

dom108 how very wrong you are. At least research ways of propulsion before making comments. Rocket fuel propulsion will be a thing of the past.. As will burning fossil fuels to create electricity.. which again will lead to a lesser amount of "torture" to the animals.

As to the person who wrote this.. You are an idiot who clearly doesn't understand the universe or the world. Read books or watch documentaries which portray positives and negatives on humans as a race and you shall see what we're aiming for to be just.

So when you say you want all of human race deported to another planet, you are including yourself, right? I mean, because that wouldn't make sense. I think youre being hypocritical and need to gtfo your high horse. You're a human and do human things as well, ITS WHAT WE ARE. So deal with it, or teleport your own self away. Lol its funny cause I used to be all "I hate humans gtfo" too.

Well, after reading through all of the threads, I find it quite ineffective to argue with a child full of only contradictions.
So, I am only going to point out one thing; you keep showing that it must be normal because a higher % of people agree, though, you don't understand that they are agreeing that it is normal to feel this way, they (for the most part) are not as uneducated as you are to actually take action.
If you were to go through the threads and use simple addition, you will see that most people think you are wrong.
You clearly have a thesaurus beside you, you might as well grab a math book as well.

Ironically, I hope you enjoy living your whole life believing this.

Let's start with you.

Mmmm. Before taking such a big step why don't you go and live in Costa Rica or someplace where the imprint on the environment is low (and more than sustainable). But then, it's easy to say shit...much harder to do anything about it

I feel like you sometimes

lol totally understandable.

Miss_Anthrope:

Well that may be, but last night you told me you were a dung beetle.

Actually i do agree
Humans are moved by their mountainsized egos and we are infact destroying most ecosystems and not only with what we burn but the simple way we live is destructive we destroy forests and make concrete jungles we construct bigger and better things for us and we don't give a flying fuck about what we destroy in the process. Off course the world would be a better place without us but the thing is were would we be put? who deserves such punishment?

thats an interesting point of view. amusing

Yes. A lot of times I do. Although I wouldn't just ship them off to another planet, I would have them all killed. But I only feel that way when someone really pisses me off. I am kind of disgusted to be part of the human race. But, as impossible as it may seem, not EVERYONE is a disgrace to mankind.

lemme guess......everyone except you right

Quite apart from everything else, the manufacture and propulsion of the spacecraft required to do that would probably destroy the whole planet, and would require the entire of humanity to manufacture, which would require an international suicide pact, and if we wanted to do that, we could do it right here and now and save a lot of time and effort.

Miss_Anthrope:

Prove it. But why should I take the word of a dung beetle? You're full of shit =)
